Things I've learned in classes in the past week:
1) Columbus came to America on a Fullbright scholarship
2) Linnaeus' first name was "Chuck"
3) one is greater than infinity
4) econ majors, linguists, and Swedes don't like to talk
5) Tacitus was Ridley Scott's screenwriter (though in fairness, I was drifting off to sleep for this one and I might have gotten it wrong. But Ridley Scott, Tacitus, and screenwriter were mentioned in the same sentence)
6) point-set topology was invented in Iceland

And my friends wonder why I skip so many classes!
